- Abstract
-
"A Jew has fallen to the ground; water gushes from a stand-pipe into his face; he has a pair of breeches, showing he deals in old clothes. Two laughing young women watch the disaster (right). A youth holding a pitcher grins delightedly, a passer-by (left) looks round to smile. Beneath are eight lines of verse beginning: ''Early one Morning Sue & Ciss, Went out to fetch some water, Moses forsooth must have a Kiss, But Mark what followed after.'"--British Museum online catalogue
